WATCH: Mike Evans on Trump: 'I hope he resigns or gets impeached'

Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans chose to kneel during the national anthem to protest Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding Colin Kaepernick and other athletes who have chosen to protest during the national anthem.

Both Evans and DeSean Jackson decided to make a statement by kneeling instead of standing alongside the rest of their teammates prior to Sunday’s game against the Vikings.

Following the game, Evans discussed why he did not stand during the anthem with ESPN’s Josina Anderson. During their interview, he shared his thoughts about President Trump and why he is so passionate about joining players across the league in making his voice heard by kneeling.

“He can say what ever he wants, he’s the President of the United States,” Evans said. “I wish we had a better leader and hopefully down the road he resigns or gets impeached. I think that would be the best thing for our country. We’ve tried to give him a chance, but he’s not making any progress. Instead, he’s trying to divide us.”
